From what I can generally vibe about people's responses to Dawntrail (and I'm generally pretty good at vibing out community responses to media), Dawntrail kind of hit an ugly midpoint that nobody was entirely happy with, where all the Scions were there but nobody was really doing anything. So nobody was really super happy with it; the people who wanted a Scion-free story still had them hanging around making their presence known, but anyone who wanted the Scions to actually have a Scion Story were annoyed that they didn't really contribute.

I'm squarely in the former camp but also see the latter, and like I said on the first page, I think it gets solved in the future by only bringing in Scions that actually have something to actively do.
